Hey guys, I need some advice with gaining weight.. I can't do a gallon of milk a day because I am lactose Intolerant. Is there something else I can drink a gallon of that is rich in protein? I've been steadily gaining 1lb a week but I know that's not enough. My stomach feels like it's at its limit, I keep getting nausea and indigestion. My stomach is a pussy.

How much milk can you drink without getting sick? Half a cup? Try it and see. Then add half a cup every 3 days. NMP.
Overfed and Undertrained
Hi Rip, many folks probably aren't aware that the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum is in Wichita Falls, Texas. For decades Mid-South Championship Wrestling held regular shows in Wichita Falls and the town was considered one of its true mainstays.
I am a fairly big longtime wrestling fan, and I'm wondering if you ever trained with, coached, or interacted with any of the wrestlers that came through Wichita Falls back until the late 80's when the promotion was sold? A lot of the old time wrestlers were seriously into powerlifting, and of course Ken Patera is a legendary figure in Weightlifting.
Never trained with or even met any of them.

Ah okay, thanks. This year the late Skandor Akbar (real name Jim Wehba) was inducted. He was born in Wichita Falls and spent his childhood in Vernon.
Something folks on this board might find interesting is supposedly whenever Wehba did a bench press, he would clean the bar, then lay down on the bench under control, then press it for his set of however many, sit back up with the bar, stand up, then return it to the floor. The stories go that he did this with 400+, and the whole thing sounds ridiculous but supposedly is true. I have literally never heard of a bench press like this.
